Even though these confirmations which we approved reduced the courts workload to fewer cases per active judge than what we see as president obama sends his nominees to the senate. On april 5, the judicial conference of the United States, which is led by chief justice john roberts, made its federal judgeship recommendations for the 113th congress. The judicial conference is nonpartisan,

At a time when our political system can seem more polarized and more divided than ever before, it can be tempting to see the possibility of bipartisan pro
